On the night

In this 2.5 hour event Louise Bliss of Manifesto Digital – a highly experienced Certified Scrum Master, Agile Practitioner and speaker – looks at how Agile project management has grown and developed from its core principles before providing a focused introduction to the Scrum methodology.

Scrum is an implementation of Agile principles where discreet amounts of work are tackled in timeboxes called sprints. The core meetings of Scrum include Stand Ups, Planning, Retrospectives and Demos. In addition to looking at the mechanics of these Louise will provide an overview of estimating in Scrum, how requirements are captured and the attributes of a good Scrum team.

It will be of benefit for those who work in or with Scrum teams, those who are thinking of adopting Agile or Scrum, or want to reflect back on the core principles and solidify learning, as well as people looking to become a Certified ScrumMaster.
